LUTHIER ALAN SIMCOE

Custom acoustic classical guitars and ukuleles by Seattle Luthier Alan Simcoe. Since 1993 Alan Simcoe has crafted handmade classical instruments built with the finest materials. Although his professional output includes many modern and historical designs, he specializes in nylon-stringed guitars in the Hauser/Torres tradition.  His formal schooling includes a B.Mus. degree in classical guitar performance.  An accomplished player, Alan applies his music sensibilities to the design, building and voicing of his instruments.  He is largely self-taught as a luthier, but credits Robert Ruck and Jeffrey Elliot with critical input.
